Rosehall Run ‘Small Lots - Single Vineyard’ Cabernet Franc 2016
VQA Prince Edward County $34.95 13.5% alcohol
Hand-harvested fruit from single-vineyard parcels provides 100% cabernet franc that underwent 24 days of warm, not hot, fermentation and ageing in partial new French oak puncheons. Even with a swirl, the nose remains delicate with red cherry, red and green bell pepper and mineral aromas. The acidity, chalky minerality and fine-grained tannin open the door to crunchy red fruit, dry cherry notes and dry savoury herbs. Medium bodied with singular character, this requires time and air to fully display its charm and complexity. If impatient, aerate/decant three to four hours and pour alongside duck confit or chicken cacciatore. There’s twenty years of cellaring potential here according to winemaker, Dan Sullivan.

Rosehall Run ‘Hungry Point’ White 2017
VQA Prince Edward County $22.95 11.5% alcohol
This intriguing blend of 51% sauvignon blanc, 26% chardonnay musqué, 18% pinot gris and 5% muscat offers an aromatic nose of stone fruit, melon and citrus woven with pretty floral notes and a touch of white pepper. Hinting at off-dry, the medium-light bodied palate delivers candied lemon peel, ripe red apple, and a tropical fruit flavour through the medium-length, refreshing finish. This would pair nicely with an asparagus and lemon zest quiche. (Lisa Isabelle)
